Hi steemians!

The best cake you've ever eaten...

Just want to present you the best cake you've ever eaten... This is a speciality from my country, the Brittany, in France! You all know that French cook is one of the better on earth no? =)

So what's the name of this wonderful and beautiful cake?? In Breton it's called "Kouign-Amann". The english traduction could be "Butter cake".
I let you imagine the ingredients.. ;)

A little of History

It came from the city of Douarnenez, in Brittany. It was created by mistake by a baker in 1860. His name is Yves-René Scordia. Great man, trust me... ;)

It's a difficult cake to make. For the story, this baker wrote on his bakery "Could make it who want, could succeed who can".

So, do you accept the challenge? ;)
